Текст песни You Wear It Well, Rod Stewart

00:00

(Rod Stewart / Martin Quittenton)

I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon
but to settle down and write you a line
I ve been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota
hell it s been a very long time
You wear it well
A little old fashioned but that s all right

Well I suppose you re thinking I bet he s sinking
or he wouldn t get in touch with me
Oh I ain t begging or losing my head
I sure do want you to know that you wear it well
There ain t a lady in the land so fine

Remember them basement parties, your brother s karate
the all day rock and roll shows
Them homesick blues and radical views
haven t left a mark on you, you wear it well
A little out of time but I don t mind

But I ain t forgetting that you were once mine
but I blew it without even tryin
Now I m eatin my heart out
tryin to get a letter through

Since you ve been gone it s hard to carry on
I m gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town
when you sat down and cried on the stairs
You knew it did not cost the earth, but for what it s worth
You made me feel a millionaire and you wear it well
Madame Onassis got nothing on you

Anyway, my coffee s cold and I m getting told
that I gotta get back to work
So when the sun goes low and you re home all alone
think of me and try not to laugh and I wear it well
I don t object if you call collect
cos I ain t forgetting that you were once mine
but I blew it without even tryin
Now I m eatin my heart out tryin to get back to you

After all the years I hope it s the same address
Since you ve been gone it s hard to carry on
